Well who knows who's behind this crime spree-- could be some generic all-American whack job.
However, you raise a good point. If there are Islamic Fifth Columnists here in America, they are more likely to resort to random shooting instead of suicide bombings.
Israel has dealt with random shooting for years. Israel responded by basically armed the entired adult population. Even school teachers pack Uzis.
Because Israel is such a hard target (as soon as a shooter pulls a gun, every Israeli bystander is drawing too), Palestinians have had to resort to suicide bombings.
America is such a soft target in comparison with so many fewer armed citizens, that a jihadists wouldn't have to kill himself to create terror. He could shoot and scoot and live to enjoy American strip clubs for at least one more night.

Yes. My liberal co-worker was argueing over lunch for tighter
gun control. I pointed out the statistics of quadrupled house invasions in Australia and the UK since all citizens were supposed to
turn in their guns. With those laws, it was like putting out a welcome mat on the front porch that said: "Break In Here: We are unarmed!"
EVERYONE should be armed NOW! The police cant be everywhere all the time!
